bluenorther said...Hello, Lizardson, Just wanted to ask you, please, add 'Thanks to John' to my Julie Felix post.... And one more thing to talk about, I am always posting the singer/songwriters whose albums are often available in the shops. Lately a lot of people are demanding you to delete their albums. I would like to know, maybe I should stop posting the albums on your blog? There's always a risk some idiot might want to shut off your blog completely. I really would not like to be the reason for your possible trouble. So, please, let me know your opinion regarding this matter. Sincerely, bluenorther.

Thanks again and again bluenortherand John, thanks for this postreally love itour visitors are always respecting musiciansand we always want to support them as possible I believe, THTM gives good influences to all music lovers (include musicians)but I know the end is always near (even if you stop posting)please don't hesitate to introduce good music

The lovely Julie - 'England's own Joan Baez.' We had our own version of everyone. Cliff Richard was our Elvis, Donovan was our Dylan (!).I'm still wondering who 'The Singing Postman' was emulating, but Bugs Bunny should have sued.

Actually, this is a nice post of a (these days) underrated singer. Thanks very much, bluenorthener.

Good to see some Julie Felix here. Julie is actually American, but became successful in Britain. She's still active - check out her website for some collections of her songs, but sadly much of her early work (including her finest album, Changes) is not available on CD.

Hello, manila! To call my name 'incorrect' was the same, as if you called Me 'incorrect'(what might well be true...LOL).Here is a good explanation what 'blue norther' is...Anyway, thanks for the good laugh.We even might be friends if not our different political views...(joke).Sorry, no audio link.

Blue NortherListen in RealAudioEmail your weather question

I'm Dave Thurlow and this is The Weather Notebook. Today on the show we look at cold fronts that are really cold fronts. Some of the most dramatic fronts on earth surge across the North American prairie each winter. The cold winds associated with these fronts are called blue northers in Texas, but their stomping ground ranges from Alberta to the Gulf Coast.

Blue northers get their start when a bitterly cold air mass builds up not far from the North Pole. This usually happens beneath a dome of high pressure which leads to light winds, clear skies, and successively colder nights. Sometimes the high pressure builds up enough to spread south through sheer gravity, like a blob of maple syrup rolling across your pancakes. However, for a really intense norther, you need the jet stream to help push the air south. When everything comes together, a newborn cold front can race south at speeds of 60 kilometers per hour or more, enough to move it from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico in less than two days.

A blue norther arrives with screaming winds that can push up a thick, ominous blanket of stratus clouds. These may look blueish grey as they approach, thus the colorful name.
